Brazil and Argentina finding the way not so smooth.

Copa America has just started and two favorites, Brazil and Argentina, are finding the ride not so easy, as some might have expected.
The Hermanos hit a bump on Friday, when they almost lost to Bolivia. Messi was lost on the pitch (it looks as though he would fit better in the Spanish team) and it looks like there is an overall lack of connectivity, a true issue Batista will have to resolve. The match ended 1-1 after a split moment of brilliance by Sergio Aguero.
Today, things were looking bright for Brazil. The team from Mano Menezes had everything to shine, but did not. The match ended in a 0-0 tie with Venezuela. Lots of problems for the canarinha: there was no creative midfield with Lucas and Ramires, Neymar wasted two brilliant opportunities and only Pato and Robinho were doing some good to the yellow shirt. Mano took Robinho out to put Fred but nothing really came of it.
Uruguai plays Peru tomorrow. The football Gods hope this match will save the expectations for the favorites.
